Location

At Port (Baix Ebre). From Cova Cambra, on the Mola de Catí, one must head S and pass the head of the barranc or canal de la Galiassa (according to some maps: Saliassa). The plateau of the Mola ends in a rocky area aligned from NE to SW, which forms a cliff. One must follow in a SW direction until reaching the point where one can access the S slope and, at the foot of the cliff, go up. The first cavity encountered is the Cova del Pas del Roquer de la Galiassa. Continuing up at the foot of the cliff one finds cave no. 1 and some 100 metres further on no. 2 and some 50 metres further to the NE no. 3. Approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

Slight hole of only 1 metre by 1 metre.

Other details

When it was found, inside there was a bat, which is why the colleagues from Tortosa also call it Forat de l'Orellut.

In fact we should not catalogue it given its dimensions, but as it appears in the catalogue of Port and other lists made by the Espeleo Club Tortosa, without giving practically any information, it could generate doubts in the future.

No survey exists.

History

Although they were certainly cavities known to the shepherds of the area, the first speleological reference is given by members of SIRE – UEC Tortosa (later Espeleo Club Tortosa) who explored them between August and September 1978.
